Starring Mina Sundwall, The Graduates is a compelling drama with incredible performances across the board. Our TribecaFilmFestival review:
From documentaries like Bowling For Columbine to The Fallout, which features one of Jenna Ortega’s best performances, movies about school shootings are not new and are unfortunately more timely than ever.
Genevieve is our main protagonist, and Sundwall handles her challenging role with breathtaking grace. It’s a part that could easily feel melodramatic but feels raw and nuanced in her capable hands. Sundwall possesses both a softness and strength, never allowing Genevieve to turn into a caricature of a perpetually weepy girlfriend nor a pillar of constant, unemotional strength.
Though the adults aren’t in the spotlight, they do play an integral role. John Cho is wonderful as the school’s basketball coach and Tyler’s father, and his own journey is beautiful, though the specifics could benefit from a bit more clarity. The same can be said for Kelly O'Sullivan, who plays the encouraging counselor — another part that nicely subverts easy stereotypes of overly sunshiney or tough.
